Cockroach

Cockroaches have mastered the art of survival. They’ve been around for millions of years, and can be around for a million more. They have learned to adapt to almost any kind of environment, and can survive without food for a month. Cockroaches life span can be a full year, and they multiply very fast – a single female cockroach is known to produce as much as 400 offspring.

These traits have made the cockroach one of the top household pests across the globe. Because roaches scavenge for food, the surface of their bodies is laden with disease-causing microbes. They are known carriers of bacteria that cause a variety of intestinal disorders such as dysentery, cholera, typhoid fever and diarrhea. Roaches also carry an offensive odor, and some people develop allergic reactions to them.

The best way to control the spread of these pests is cleanliness. Make sure your home, especially the kitchen area, is clean and clutter-free. Proper waste disposal is also a key factor, as cockroach is driven towards the scent of food. Keep your trash bins covered, and your food containers covered as well to avoid contamination.
